Mugwort buds, in fact, there are more than 300 acres of land on Shitushipo, and wormwood, wild chrysanthemums and sunflowers dominate the world.

At first, six or seven kilograms of seeds were sown on one acre of land. Now, just after the spring rain, a layer of velvet green has grown densely in the barren land, covering the land that still has some gravels like a thousand-mile green carpet. With a little bit of color, it looks great.

The camomile next to it is also lush.

However, those mugwort varieties have higher medicinal value and do not taste as good as wild mugwort.

So Lu Chuan said he wanted to taste the flavor of the mountains, so the seventh cousin handed over the basket neatly and pointed to the place.

They are both chefs, but the little old man's life is much more leisurely than that of Master Jiang. He spends a lot of time every day wandering around the mountains and plains.

No, we have to arrange for everyone to pick shepherd's purse in the next two days. It's spring. Let's get some more shepherd's purses to make dumplings - it rained all the time and it was delayed. Now many of the shepherd's purses are old.

If we delay any longer, the shepherd's purse will bear all its flowers.

While talking, the seventh cousin muttered: "Tantan, take some time to go online and buy some seeds. Shepherd's purse, baby, mugwort and so on. Buy more for us to scatter on both sides of the road."

"Otherwise, the whole village would come here and pick wild vegetables that wouldn't be enough for our family to eat."

After all, there are so many people, and when you wander around, it’s like locusts passing by, and the weeds on the roadside are almost cleared.

That's it, what I got back is not enough to eat.

After all, there are so many people in the family, and cooking and cooking every day is like feeding pigs. A bag of noodles can't even last two days.

Song Tan said "Oh!"

In fact, there is no shortage of these things in the mountain village, but last year, after all the work of plowing the soil and building roads, all the wild vegetables and weeds that were not in the way of the road disappeared without a trace.

"Seventh cousin, you reminded me well, I almost forgot - it happens to be the season now, I will buy more."

Apart from anything else, if the villagers wanted to cut mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival, they would not go all the way to the mountains.

No, when the seventh cousin was walking back and forth, he saw a lot of mugwort buds on the edge of the old tea mountain, so he arranged for them to come over.

The entire mountain, which covers more than 100 acres, originally belonged to Old Man Li, but due to neglect, large areas of the mountain were wasteland. Only a dozen acres of old tea trees grew to two meters high and were out of reach for picking tea.

After Song Tan took over, he took the time to prune all the old tea trees, and then plowed and reorganized the land. This spring, they were all replanted with tea seedlings.

Just waiting for a while, various watermelons can be planted in the small tea seedling fields here.

After a winter of cultivation and spring germination, the old tea tree has now produced a layer of shiny young leaves. Just wait for a few days for the fat new shoots to sprout, and then you can start to prepare for picking.

But now——

Lu Chuan held the basket and asked, "Is that mugwort in front of you?"

It is bright green and grows in plump clusters close to the ground. The back of the leaves has a faint silvery white luster, which looks fresh and cute.

Song Tan nodded: "Yes! It's really tender!"

"However, this actually tastes a bit heavy, but my seventh cousin knows how to adjust it, so it should be okay."

She squatted down and started picking directly: "Don't worry about picking. This one grows very fast. As long as it doesn't take root, it will be a big bush again in a few days this season."

She picked them very deftly and quickly. Seeing this, Lu Chuan also picked a handful, and then laughed: "The smell is really strong."

"Really?" Song Tan joked: "Pick the tender ones and give them to the young master in the city to eat well."

The young master in the city smiled helplessly: "Am I the only one who eats it? Don't you have to eat it too?"

But Song Tan laughed: "We have seen this thing since we were young! My parents are better, and they will get some to eat in season."

"If it were my grandparents, they were hungry when they were young. Now they don't like to touch these wild vegetables, including sweet potatoes."

Last spring, I ate a lot, but the wild vegetables were all produced by spiritual energy, so the taste was naturally different.

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "That's it, everyone will be wronged at noon."

"That's not the case." Song Tan had confidence in the seventh cousin: "Many wild vegetables require a lot of oil, and they must be paired with meat - probably mugwort stewed chicken, or fragrant fried diced pork."

After saying that, he became happy again: "Didn't you want to try mugwort buns before? What do you think mugwort is?"

She pointed forward: "There, the white wormwood is a bit similar to this one. You put it in your basket. Let's try two different ones at noon!"

To be honest, Lu Chuan has read all kinds of materials about novels, and he is quite familiar with wild vegetables and weeds. But now that I picked it myself, I realized that it was quite different to see it with my own eyes and practice it!

He also became interested: "Where? Does that one only pick the top leaves?"

While the two were talking and laughing, a yellow shadow suddenly passed in front of them. Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the tea field.

He raised his head and saw a dog's head sticking out from the pruned tea bushes, with a jute-colored rabbit in its mouth.

Look at the neck again, the dog tag has two big red letters——

"Shippo!"

Song Tan came over and looked at the rabbit first: "Qibao is out! It's so fast to catch rabbits!"

"Woof!"

Qibao was instantly proud and opened his mouth to shout. The rabbit that had been stiff and pretending to be dead instantly fell to the ground, and then flew away and entered the tea bush again.

"Woo——"

Qibao was dumbfounded and aggrieved. He wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Song Tan: "Forget it, let's catch him next time. Come on, help me hold the basket first."

As expected, Qibao stupidly came over to bite the basket.

Lu Chuan was curious: "Why not let him catch it?"

Song Tan glanced at Qibao carefully and said helplessly: "It-these three brothers and sisters were picked up by me on the road, I guess..."

That's really hard to describe.

It's not that he's not smart, but his personality is too clear.

Wubao loves to sleep and dig holes—Song Tan suspects that Qiao Qiao took him to plant corn in the first place.

Liu Bao likes to eat secretly and is poor at arithmetic. You can't steal anything even if you're in jail, it's very embarrassing.

Qibao is even more difficult to describe.

It is diligent, brave and obedient!

But, very reckless.

How reckless is that?

"As for the tea field in front of us, these big tea trees are okay, their branches are forked and strong, and they can't move. But if you switch to the recently transplanted tea saplings inside, they can go in and catch a rabbit, and they can plow the whole field. Once again.”

After thinking about it, Song Tan had to hesitate: "Maybe it's because we have never disciplined him."

At that time, the house was busy, so the three puppies were handed over to a few mature treasures, and they were brought out...

Well, I can't say that I am independent, I can only say that I have no competitiveness in the workplace.
